I think I've soiled myself

Kim Jong-un, when him gon-un?

North Korea's gluttonous glorious leader, Kim Jong-un, has castigated his top officials for lapses with severe consequences related to the Chongvirus.

In remarks reported by state news outlet KCNA, Mr Kim accused senior officials of negligence at a specially convened meeting of party leaders. As a result, they "caused a grave incident that has caused a great risk to people and the nation's safety", according to his comments in Korean.

This means that North Korea probably has notifiable Chongvirus cases. This is despite a border lockdown that has thrown the country into economic turmoil and food shortages. The latter could explain why the Supreme Leader is looking a little thin these days.

The regime might spin this as evidence that Kim Jong-un is committed to his people and working hard for his people day and night. But these are the same people that he imprisons or executes for foreign speech, hairstyles and clothes which he described as dangerous poisons. The same people who're starving because he's more focussed on nuclear capability than food shortages.

Few things in the news bring me joy quite like his discomfort. I hope that one day the people of North Korea wake up to the not-as-fat-as-he-used-to-be prick's flimflam and overthrow him. I shall rejoice. But I'm not holding my breath.

Foreign hairstyles are dangerous poisons. [cough]
